On the eve of the 2016 presidential election, Columbia Global Reports published John Judis’ The Populist Explosion, which predicted a worldwide wave of populist sentiment on the left and the right in reaction to the disruptions caused by globalization. The Populist Explosion has been our best-selling book so far in our four years in business. One of the standard places people go to try to understand the phenomenon of Donald Trump.
Now Judis has written a sequel, The Nationalist Revival: Trade, Immigration, and the Revolt Against Globalization, which takes his argument one step further from politics into governance. He makes a powerful and provocative case for nationalism as an inescapable aspect of politics everywhere in the world. He regards the idea that nationalism is merely a long running, transitional phase between local and global governance as absurd.
